I have died inside, my heart is subdued I have despoiled all I hold most true What remains of me is but a shell An outer vision of an inner hell I can never make this up to you But I will never stop trying to No matter how great the final cost I can't yet believe that the fight is lost Mea culpa Mea maxima culpa Forgive me, for I have sinned SongtexteThere is nothing I can do or say To lift the weight of the guilt from me No thought or word is left untouched Everything reminds me of my fall Never more to stray from the righteous path And to temptation in scorn to laugh This is my desire My only need For you to forgive this ill-thought deed My spirits they are flagging My moral standards gone Plunged into this darkness In turmoil thrown Shaken by the depth of my descent Is it too late for a sinner to repent? I have been blind but you have to see That we must walk together from this nether world Even in this weakness my faith in you is strong I believe you can look beyond this wrong Mea culpa Mea maxima culpa Forgive me, for I have sinned There is nothing I can do or say To lift the weight of the guilt from me No thought or word is left untouched Everything reminds me of my fall Never more to stray from the righteous path And to temptation in scorn to laugh This is my desire My only need For you to forgive this ill-thought deed The truth of what we were I have seen too late Torn apart and cursed by my rising self-hate In this act most hateful I put us to the test I will see the strength of your love confessed No more am I the servant of slavish lust I feel stripped and flayed by my self-disgust To the raging furies I am laid bare And in truth, about myself I do not care Mea culpa Mea maxima culpa Forgive me, for I have sinned There is nothing I can do or say To lift the weight of the guilt from me No thought or word is left untouched Everything reminds me of my fall Never more to stray from the righteous path And to temptation in scorn to laugh This is my desire My only need For you to forgive this ill-thought deed And I never meant to hurt you I never thought I could In this deceitful world I wanted to be true And I never meant to hurt you I never thought I could In this deceitful world I am also untrue Aus Songtexte Mania
